Reporting Bugs
===============
Reporting Bugs in GDB
=====================
The correct address for reporting bugs found in gdb is
"bug-gdb@gnu.org". Please email all bugs, and all requests for help
with GDB, to that address. Please include the GDB version number
(e.g., gdb-5.1.1), and how you configured it (e.g., "sun4" or "mach386
host, i586-intel-synopsys target"). Since GDB now supports so many
There are several ways of reporting bugs in GDB. The prefered
method is to use the World Wide Web:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/
As an alternative, the bug report can be submitted, via e-mail, to the
address "bug-gdb@gnu.org".
When submitting a bug, please include the GDB version number (e.g.,
gdb-5.1.1), and how you configured it (e.g., "sun4" or "mach386 host,
i586-intel-synopsys target"). Since GDB now supports so many
different configurations, it is important that you be precise about
this. If at all possible, you should include the actual banner that
GDB prints when it starts up, or failing that, the actual configure
command that you used when configuring GDB.
For more information on how/whether to report bugs, see the GDB
Bugs section of the GDB manual (gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo) or the
gdb/CONTRIBUTE file.
For more information on how/whether to report bugs, see the
Reporting Bugs chapter of the GDB manual (gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo).
